Fat People in the News

Since I'm not subscribed to a newspaper at my school, I have to rely on yahoo news to stay up-to-date. One of my favorite sections is the Health section, where I can read about diseases and the occasional mental disorder. However, as of late all of the articles are about fat people. Every single day, it's the same thing: "new groundbreaking study declares the rate of obese people is going up!" Common knowledge now, I'd think. I don't pay much attention to it because it's the same information over and over.

But today something caught my attention.

Fat people really annoy me, especially the ones who whine about their weight but then don't do anything about it. The lawsuits they throw at McDonalds is just ridculous. You didn't know McDonalds was unhealthy for you if you eat it every meal? Why, couldn't you see yourself getting fatter? My god the idiocy of some people is just amazing.

On top of that they're pretty disgusting to look at. Nothing is worse than seeing fat jiggle. Ughhhh. I think that may be the thing I don't like most about fat people. The way they look.

My father and I say the exact same thing all the time. These morons honestly can't see themselves increasing in size and weight? They wait till they're overflowing with blubber before actually going 'WETF LOL OMG IM FAT MUZT DO SOMTING AN CRY ABUT IT ALOT SINC I OBVIULKSY DINT NOTICE'. Obese people smell awful, too. I used to take public transport into the city pretty often in the past, but on one occasion the train was packed and I got stuck in between a bunch of obese people and the smell of their body odour nauseated me to the point where I almost vomitted my ass off, since they obviously sweat alot, being large. Never again.

I believe about 1/3 of all American dogs are overweight as well. I've seen a study with a higher percentage (50%) but that included cats as well in that study. The percentage aside, fat people likely have fat animals because if they can't regulate what they eat, they probably have a hard time regulating how much food to give to their animals, and if they don't exercise regularly, they probably don't exercise their animals, either.

It's higher than that. Check the body mass index thingy. It was a Penn & Teller show, tons of people are overweight.

The confusion is the difference between overweight and healthy. A fat guy can be tons healthier than a skinny guy. Rare, but doable.
